John Urist & Steeda: Super Street Outlaw Champinions

Steeda sponsored driver John Urist won the NMRA Super Street Outlaw Series Championship for 2011 in a blistering final race at the World Championship Finals in Bowling Green Kentucky. The Super Street Outlaw was a thrill-fest from the word “go”. In qualifying, John “The Fireball” Urist cranked off a pair of 7.02-second elapsed times to take the number-one spot and set the new ET record. In eliminations, Urist never went slower than a 7.06 en route to the final round. In the final round, as the tree dropped, Urist streaked to a 7.05-second victory. While the first six-second run wasn’t in the cards for Urist, he won his unprecedented seventh Super Street Outlaw title this year.

“John continues to dominate this highly competitive drag event every year. The Steeda Autosports Team is proud to be a sponsor of John’s and contribute to his ongoing racing success” commented Dario Orlando, CEO of Steeda Autosports. “John outstanding success is indicative of the commitment that his race team and Steeda Autosports Team has towards dominating drag racing.”
